Armature-banding apparatus for lathes.



. yhas been placed in the lathe, the carriage is manually or otherwiseplaced in. the desired position on tlreconr necting mils c ci, and awirc 40 from the reel 32 ie passed i around thevarious tension rollers39 over the rollers 35 fand 36 and around Vthe armature or other deviceto'be bound, whereupon the lathe iestarted and in the turning of vthesame each successive convolution of the wire forming a band o willautomatically shift.. the swing guidi"r arm 33 just sufficiently tomaintain the convo.y

lutions of timwirc's forming the band in their juxtaposed positions.

I also prefer to employ a brake device comprising a flange 42 on theinner `end of the movable member l' of the friction clutch, and acorresponding iiangev43 on the frame of the lhead stock. -The facesoi'these flanges 42 43 may be covered with roughe'ned leather-*or other`similar material; and as will be apparent, when the clutch is releasedthe slidable member l thereof will be returned by the action of thespring 22, :and thc face 'adapted to he adjusted on the said connectingmembers, a-

series ot tension devices ,in the said carriage, u swing guide armpivotally mounted on the said carriage. and means against whit-lithosaid swing arm may he antomaty icaliy moved in the banding operation.
